FLAME RESISTANT INDURA & 100% NOMEX® IIIA APPAREL

INDURA APPAREL

Everyday, workers in the utilities, oil, gas, petrochemical and steel industries work in environments that may expose them to hazards that could cause severe burn injuries. In the event of a momentary electric arc, flash fire or molten metal splash exposure, everyday non-flame resistant work clothes can ignite and will continue to burn even after the source of ignition has been removed. Untreated natural fibers will continue to burn until the fabric is totally consumed and non-flame resistant synthetic fabrics will burn with melting and dripping causing severe contact burns to the skin. Government reports note that the majority of severe and fatal burn injuries are due to the individuals clothing igniting and continuing to burn, not by the exposure itself. Indura & Indura Ultra Soft fabrics meet the requirements of: NFPA70E, NFPA2112, NFPA1977, ASTM F1506, OSHA 1910.269, ASTM F1002, CGSB 155.20, EN 531, EN 470.
